We took a long walk - way down to
Ned's. Harry & Ida were
there a minute or so & Frederica
but they went & we adjourned to the "studio" - not quite
finished. Staid an hour or so & were invited to supper but did
not stay. We walked home & Mary
talked about Ned. Said she seemed
so cold - and as perfectly self-sufficient as tho' nothing anyone
could say or do would be met with anything but indifference. She
thinks she is about the most beautiful person she ever saw. Neither
Ned nor
Mary seem at ease in each other's
presence, I have noticed. This evening we 4 had a pleasant kitchen
supper together - Claude's last Sunday
here.
May 20 Monday
Pleasant - but cool. Did some shopping. In the evening rode
out to the Park with Mary. Then
came home & sewed. Clouds were beautiful
May 21 Tuesday
Some warmer late in the day but rather a hard frost last night.
Plants &c. killed. Shopped with
Ned (for curtains) tonight & was late
home (on Diana) Sewed, while Papa read aloud.
